Devreaux Baker is a poet with the voice and vision of a prophet, a necromancer, a 21st century Cassandra. Hungry Ghosts is one of the most important and beautiful books of our time, the culmination of a lifetime of meditation and examination of our interconnectedness and presence within our environment, our planet, our cosmos. Her poetry is stunning, lyrical, lush and profound; it opens us to a wider consciousness and meaning, a deeper understanding of our world and our responsibility as stewards of that world, the space we inhabit and depend on for existence. It will leave you breathless, depressed, enraged, hopeful, exhilarated. It will remain in your consciousness, your DNA, your soul, forever. As Katherine Hastings says, "A deep wisdom runs throughout Devreaux Baker's work - a reminder that we are not merely connected to nature, but that we are part of nature itself." It is a reminder that we all need if we are to survive these precarious and turbulent times. Hungry Ghosts places Baker in the top rank of the most important poets of our time.
